Online service – Cesar Chavez Initiative

As we reflect on the life and work of Cesar Chavez today, we can't help but be reminded of his words:

“History will judge societies and governments — and their institutions — not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless.”

Chavez spent his life advocating for the rights of farm workers, who now today are yet again facing tremendous hardships in the midst of a global pandemic. Farm workers and domestic workers, many of whom are immigrant laborers, are living paycheck to paycheck, some anxious of deportation or becoming infected, many without sick leave or health insurance.
